NEWARK, N.J. ā€” The pick-up courts in Queens donā€™t take any prisoners. Mo Dioubate learned that the hard way during his early basketball days on the mean streets of New York.

Itā€™s where the Alabama forwardā€™s blue-collar spirit was born.

ā€œIt gave me the dog mentality,ā€ Dioubate told Tide Illustrated last week. ā€œPlaying in the park every day, it builds character. When adversity hits, especially when youā€™re playing outside, you canā€™t run anywhere. Youā€™ve got to stick and fight.ā€
